Let me down slow and easy
'Cause there ain't nothin' I can do
I hope and pray my faith won't leave me
When it comes down to me and you

Try a little tenderness
I die a little
For a long lost sweet caress

You lyin' next to me
Fulfilled some destiny
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

Just a little bit of letting go
I don't want you to know
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

Overflow of emotion
And a hurt that'll never heal
If you close the door forever
The fate of pain is sealed

Try a little tenderness
I die a little
For a long lost sweet caress

You lyin' next to me (it's out of my head)
Fulfilled some destiny (and into my heart)
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

Just a little bit of letting go (take a new day)
I don't want you to know (and make a new start)
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

I more than long for your affection (I love you day and night)
I tell you now that ain't so (I want you more than life)
Not even gentle persuasion (fulfill some destiny)
Is ever gonna let me go

You lyin' next to me (it's out of my head)
Fulfilled some destiny (and into my heart)
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

Just a little bit of letting go (take a new day)
I don't want you to know (and make a new start)
I wanna cry
But I breathe a sigh

(To let me breathe)
(To let me breathe)
To let me breathe
(To let me breathe)
Breathe a sigh
